“Broward Center for the Performing Arts was home to the South Florida debut of the acclaimed Broadway musical, Wicked, and we are thrilled to see it return to the Au Rene stage.” said Kelley Shanley, President/CEO, Broward Center for the Performing Arts. “This show has certainly had a significant impact on theater audiences worldwide, and South Florida has been no exception. Its broad appeal to audiences of all ages and the universal theme of self-discovery make it a memorable musical experience for all who attend. We know many theater-goers return to Wicked time and time again, and we look forward to welcoming them here in Winter 2013.”

Long before Dorothy drops in, two other girls meet in the Land of Oz. One – born with emerald-green skin – is smart, fiery and misunderstood. The other is beautiful, ambitious and very popular. WICKED tells the story of their remarkable odyssey, and how these two unlikely friends grow to become the Wicked Witch of the West and Glinda the Good.
